Washington (CNN)A Republican running for New Jersey's 2nd Congressional District thinks diversity is "a bunch of crap and un-American," according to comments he made in a video posted to YouTube by a progressive super PAC.

"In my view, the best way to bring diversity to the Republican Party is for Republicans to openly say that the whole idea of diversity is a bunch of crap and un-American," Seth Grossman can be seen saying in the video uploaded on June 6 by American Bridge 21st Century, which monitors GOP candidates.

In the video, Grossman goes on to quote the Declaration of Independence and says, "the Constitution was designed to incorporate that idea of the Declaration of Independence that everybody is treated equally under the law. Now, what diversity has become, it's been an excuse by Democrats, communists and socialists, basically, to say that we're not all created equal, that some people, if he -- if somebody is lesser qualified, they will get a job anyway, or they'll get into college anyway because of the tribe that they're with, what group, what box they fit into."

Grossman's campaign did not immediately return a request for comment. He won the Republican primary in New Jersey, and the National Republican Congressional Committee endorsed his bid for Congress on June 6.

Why do Republicans always feel entitled to decide what's American?

1. Answering Your Ending Question

Because it's all they've got.

If they didn't jingo and lather up the rubes, people might actually sit down and figure out which side has policies would actually be of benefit to the greatest number of people. If that happened, the R party would be toast.

2. GOP nominee Seth Grossman responded by doubling down on his anti-diversity statements.

Trump usually doubles down on stupid things he says also!

3. Nothing more American than the Ku Klux Klan with their white robes exulting the superiority of a

white man to a Republican. The racism with rare exceptions runs deep.

4. "Democrats, communists and socialists"...

I feel slighted. He left out liberuls and pergressives.

5. well you know, there is really only real Murican patriots and everyone else....

so those are all the same thing to magical thinkers.

You are not really special unless everyone is out to get you.

6. So he's saying Democrats are not communists or socialists

!!!

8. Hardly, it's called conflation...

Repeatedly saying unrelated things in the same sentence tends to equalize them in the listener's mind.

That's why Repubs (and Trump, of course) like using those long lists of adjectives. They did it for Iraq, they did it for Hillary and tried to do it for Obama.

7. He forgot to include those security-risky Canadians

and to absolve the now "trustworthy" North Korean regime.
